One other reason for looking at Gentoo is sheer boredom. I've used SuSE for 4
years now, and RedHate for a few months now. SuSE has gotten to the point
that YaST does everything for you, almost perfectly. This is wonderful in
many respects, (especially for selling Linux to businesses), but I want^Wneed
more of a challenge these days. NetBSD provided that for me, but I really
want to keep Linux my primary OS and skillset, for practical reasons.
